Analyzing the Effects of Land Reform
A government implements a land reform program with two primary goals: 1) to increase the share of the crop that tenant farmers get to keep, and 2) to grant these farmers inheritable tenancy rights, protecting them from arbitrary eviction. After the program is implemented, observers note that in addition to the farmers' incomes rising, local government bodies begin to consult with these farmers more frequently and are more likely to fund public projects (like wells and roads) in their communities.
Analyze the outcomes of this program by distinguishing between its direct, intended effects and its indirect, 'spillover' effects. Explain the mechanism through which the direct effects likely led to the observed indirect effects.
